[QUOTE="mr_b, post: 1033173, member: 21859"] It's probably unfair for me to compare apples and oranges based on cost of the valve vs solid state amps I own. My valves amps are just way more expensive. I only realised how much better quality valve gear sounds after visiting a well known high-end Cape Town hifi shop and listening to various valve amps. These specimens were well outside my budget, but I was convinced that a needed a valve amp to get the best out of my Maggies and when the opportunity presented itself on the forum I jumped and bought myself a pair of silky smooth sexy valve mono blocks... and like they say the rest is history! Once you've experienced top quality valve gear is really is difficult to go back to solid state... opinions, of course, will differ! [/QUOTE]
